If you don't believe me, in 2021, after geneticists said that today's Europeans have nothing to do with the inhabitants of the continent of 5000 years ago, they said that 20000 years ago some of those black hunter-gatherers returned to Africa, current emigrants are their descendants.

@Kelley If you look at the chart in this study, on page 17 www.ed.ac.uk/files/atoms/files/archaeology_et_al_-_an_indo-european_study.pdf, it shows a modern and ancient breakdown of genetic profiles of Europeans. As you can see virtually all modern Euros show some degree of mixing between the three major genetic groups that makeup European people, WHG, EEF, and PIE (Yamnaya). All Euros carry these genes the actual breakdown depends on where in Europe the individual originated. Northern Euros tend to be heavy on PIE, a little more than average on WHG, and modest on EEF. Whereas Southern Euros tend to be heavier on EEF. But all Europeans, whether an olive skinned Italian or a lily white Swede still contain all three to some degree. At least thats my take on the studies. To me it just shows how related we all are when it comes down to it. It even has the profile for the 5500 year old Utzi or Iceman. As you can see he is predominately EEF, which is hardly surprising. However, even he couldn't fully escape the "Yamnaya curse" as he has a small amount as well as a trace of WHG.

[@demaskatorr]

The new study just have been published in the journal Antiquity. Archaeologists and geologists from the UK studied the smaller rocks used to build Stonehenge and pegged them to two quarries in the Preseli Hills of Wales. Upon visiting the sites, they discovered traces of tools, stone wedges, and digging activity. The evidence dates back to 3000 BCE, the same time when construction on Stonehenge started. The results also dispel previously held beliefs concerning the rocks' origins. Though it's widely accepted that the stones came from the Preseli Hills, this study is the first to trace them to two specific quarries on the north side of the hills-Carn Goedog and Craig Rhos-y-felin. It was thought for nearly a century that the rocks were excavated from the opposite side. The research team says their findings suggest that materials used to make Stonehenge were moved by purposeful human activity rather than freak natural forces. But the study still leaves some questions unanswered, such as how the ancient peoples were able to transport the rocks 150 miles after digging them up. The fact that the rocks came from the north side of the Preseli Hills suggests they were dragged over land rather than transported by river-though the exact methods used remain a mystery .

I love the video, you impart a high volume of information quickly, it's a relief to find a channel like yours, unpatronising and worth rewinding :) I'd bet on a plague having wiped out the Stonehenge builders, I remember reading about the presence of the host bacteria for plague in a couple of remains. One of the most recent plague models for the y. pestis agent shows that the plague spread before the migrations began, suggesting it may have spread from Trypillia across defined trade routes, not from the corded ware and Yamnaya people's. In that case the PIE people didn't invade Europe but flooded into an almost empty continent. They would have assimilated into local cultures had not the new settlers outnumbered the survivors. This of course is mostly fantasy, there is still too little data to say for sure.

[@Survivethejive]

We know for sure Yamnaya carried plague

[@longboz]

@@Survivethejive i am afraid the genetics do not support your plague theory. this is what the genetics show. a few years after the arrival of the yamnaya the y chromosomes from the neolithic males disappeared . neolithic men sired no more children. this could support your plague theory. BUT, the FEMALE genetics from the neolithic people continued unabated into the future. The only explanation for your plague theory is that the plague wiped out the male neolithic but didn't have any effect on the females neolithic . VERY VERY unlikely. I wouldn't trust a yamnaya male as far as i could throw him.

[@jl9211]

The british isles have a unique and interesting early history, but as far as the whole of Europe is concerned, I don't buy Gimbutas' openly feminist theory that the Indo-Europeans introduced patriarchy and warlikeness, especially when the militia cultures of the Greco-Romans (who were mostly of neolithic/Pelasgian descent) memed the Indo-European Scythians for their elevated role of women in politics and warfare, and made similar references about the Celts and North Germanic tribes. The ethos of the "matriarchal mother earth goddess" claim is the existence of depictions of women, as if that's all they find, or they reference the kind of pre-aryan mountain tribes you encountered in India as if they're neolithic Europeans.

A good video though there are still uncertainties. Recently when I had my DNA done, I was told I have the uncommon mutation known as "Ancient British" gene which translates to the Indigenous people in Britain before the Beaker People arrived and who built Stonehenge. The Haplogroup is M-284 and the mutation I have is known as I-L126, which dates to about 5,000 BC, 2,000 years before the Beaker people arrived. But even though my mutation is called "uncommon" it is not extremely rare. The Ancient British gene is found today sprinkled around all of Britain, and particularly in Scotland or in my case the remotest mountain area of Wales.. So, even though 90 percent of the ancient British were replaced in theory, their DNA is still around. One of the theories is that the ancient British cremated their dead, and thus there are far fewer burials. Still, because the gene is fairly uncommon and generally found in remote parts of Britain, the theory still seems sound. Far more beaker inheritance (The R1b? gene) is around today.

[@ThunderMaiden]

@@Survivethejive did you not say 5000 years ago?

[@GuroJeromeTeague]

Dogger land began to slowly sink around 10,000 BC. Many of the individuals there likely began migrating out as the waterline pressed inland. By the time of the Storegga slide/ tsunami, Doggerland was then just an island called Doggerbank. Storegga wiped it out instantly with an 80 foot tall tsunami. The date for this is approximately 6100 BC. The Yamnaya/Beaker Invasion began some 2000 years after Doggerbank was long submerged. One interesting thing here is that, to my knowledge, the Neolithic mega builders just seemed to have appeared over night with not much transitionary sites showing the development of the technology and practice. It is very similar to Gobekli Tepe. Perhaps Jive can provide something on that. So it is possible that the people's of Doggerland could have influenced the Neolithic people's of Britain and continental Europe. But is also possible for the Anatolians who built Gobekli Tepe to have carried with them the practice of stone circle construction. Unfortunately it is probably something we can never know because of 400 foot sea level rise occurring from 12500-10000 BC, the devastating Tsunami, and limits of underwater archaeology. However it is amazing to see the diversity of megafauna and tool assemblages that the trollers pull up. That place was seemingly a paradise for Hunter Gatherers.

There is a division between Maykop and Steppe Maykop, with the latter being R1a/R1b and Q1a. Steppe Maykop also has excessive ANE, related in some form to Neolithic Western Siberian Hunter Gatherers (WSHG) and Native Americans. The former Maykop is mostly Y-DNA L, with some T and a sprinkling of G and J.

[@TheM41a]

Simon Stevin it was made quite clear in the Wang preprint last year no geneflow from Maykop into the eneolithic steppe piedmont ever occurred. Maykop simply had too much Anatolian and Levant neolithic admixture which wasn’t seen in the steppe. It was never in any doubt it had nothing at all to do with PIE, yet they still continue with this ridiculous ‘tracer dye’ theory of CHG (or Iran_N?) being a vector for PIE. Yamnaya was a fairly homogeneous population with no signs of recent admixture, it’s impossible PIE came from Armenia/NW Iran.

Although the vast majority of of the y-dna haplogroups (male line) are indeed of indo-european origin, we mustn't forget that the female lines are predominantly pre-indo-european; as in most other parts of north western europe, therefore we are a mixture of the two. This of course would suggest that most of the male lines were eradicated through violence rather than disease, and that the female populations were taken as wives/concubines... As far as I'm aware the indo-europeans played no part in the construction of stonehenge, that was purely down to the megalithic builders who were mostly of early-farmer/hunter gatherer descent.

I lived near Stonehenge and Avebury for many years and always thought it was a place of power, politics, wealth, as well as to do with water and of course astronomical alignments. The Salisbury plains act as a barrier between both sites and today is used as a military firing range. So its feasible that the area also centred on war and battles. So it is interesting about the Beaker people coming in at the end of megalithic building.

The reason why the Indo-Europeans might have been more comfortable with building in wood could be because they were accustomed to building chariots. This would have implied advanced woodworking skills as chariots are not at all easy to make. Also might explain how the beaker people managed to create a ship building tradition even though they were from the steppes originally. Mixing with local fisher folk would have created the perfect combination of skills. Even if the mixing did occur in their terms, there would still have been the possibility of cultural transfer from their new relatives through marriage.

I had always supposed that more of my genes came from the builders of Stonehenge, since I come from the West Country, but I'll settle for 10% or so and the rest IE.

[@danielpatrick3761]

Great video Tom. Your channel is an absolute goldmine (beware incoming Beaker takeover)

[@Jordan-im7qr]

Fantastic video. What language do you think the Bell Beaker people of the Lower Rhine, the bulk of the invading culture as I understand it, spoke?

[@Survivethejive]

some late form of Indo-European which we will never know

[@mouthpiece200]

Their languages must have varied significantly across time and place. They probably never thought of themselves as a single people.

[@joannechisholm4501]

Thank you for a great video you are spot about the beaker people being our ancestors great work.

Very informative video! Great to see that you enjoyed Kershaw's book.

[@shootermacgavin1]

My family is from a village very close to Stonehenge. This is a very interesting video. Thank you!

[@ian_b]

Really interesting video, glad I found it. I think this is my first visit to your channel, subscribed.

Where was sea level at the time of the invasion? That might explain why they were coming from Holland rather than Iberia.

[@ajrwilde14]

pretty much the same

This video is so interesting ! Thanks for explaining the recent DNA analysis. I have a DNA match with the Archer's' Cmpanion !

[@fullmetaljackalope8408]

That is so cool! How did you find out? I’ve seen others say they’re related to other ancient people and I’m really curious.

[@birgerjohansson8010]

This video completely overlooks the role of pandemics in the destruction of the old European demographics. Just as Cortez could never have won if not the Aztecs had not been overwhelmed by disease brought from Europe, the steppe-living " jamnaya" people (the presumed ancestors of europe's indo-europeans ) could not have made inroads into Europe if they had not brought plague from the steppes. We have found genetic traces of Yersina Pestis in central asia the millennium before the steppe herders moved into Europe, and -as they had been exposed to this pathogen for centuries- they had evolved a somewhat better survival, rate. This branch of indo-europeans mixed with the remnant population of "old" europeans, taking advantage of the depopulation they inadvertedly had created. The analogy with North America is obvious: 90% of the indians died off, nearly all from diverse and not from warfare. In this context it is not strange the newcomers adopted some of the culture of the Stonehenge builders, they were not as antagonistic as they would have been if warfare was the only factor in play. And the organisation of the Stonehenge builder polity could not survive the population collapse, the skills for making big stone monuments was lost.

[@Survivethejive]

Birger Johansson no i mentioned plague. Are you deaf

[@audunedvinmagnussen9894]

You did many good videos!

[@Kokirikid101]

This video makes me miss England so much. Always admired Stonehenge from a distance on the back from LHR, can't wait to get the chance to visit it and the surrounding barrows in the future. Ever since I read the Barrow downs section LotR I've been fascinated with them.

[@Anglisc1682]

Same!! Especially with the mention of Barrow Downs

[@jimjacobs2817]

Could the barrow building not be 'aggressive replacement' but continuity of worship. The barrows were there because, somehow, the idea of 'sacredness' had been engendered by this stone circle? Like people continuing to bury the unconsecrated dead in the vicinity of a long abandoned Saxon chapel, simply because it was felt to be somehow 'holy'. Or perhaps a bit of both?

[@cindaschuster6725]

Great Vid! 💚

[@TwiztedHumor]

Has anyone noticed that this guy's channel brand spells STJ, for, Survive The Jive in the runic aphabet?

[@thuggie1]

could their population have been in decline and that what caused the influx of the indo europeans, if you look at some of the neolithic farming areas like exmoor these where heavily farmed. the problem with this place for farming is after the trees where removed the water logging over time would have rendered the ground useless for arable farming this would have reduced food availability. this could be a reason for their decline

[@joannechisholm4501]

Good question maybe they were hired as skilled labour then decided to say here I like this place lets get rid of the locals. Like what the Anglo Saxons did to the Native Britons.

[@TheGreenmangrove]

brilliant document.

[@matthewm2528]

That mannerbund thing is brilliant
